To examine the process of community-campus engagement in an initiative developed to build evaluation capacities of community-based organizations (CBOs).
Evaluability assessment, capacity-building, self administered surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted from 2004 to 2007 and analyzed through transcript assessment and SPSS to identify trends, relationships and capacity changes over time.
Evaluability assessment identified CBO strengths in program planning and implementation and challenges in measurable objective development, systematic use of mixed methods, data management and analysis. Evaluability assessment informed evaluation capacity-building (ECB) trainings, teleconferences and webinars that resulted in statistically significant improvements in evaluation knowledge, skills, and abilities. Post-initiative interviews indicated CBO preferences for face-to-face training in logic model development, mixed method data collection and analysis.
This report illustrates the use of mixed methods to plan, implement and evaluate a model to catalyze CBOs systematic assessment of prevention initiatives and considerations in evaluation capacity-building.
考察在一项旨在培养社区组织(CBO)评估能力的倡议中,社区与校园合作的过程。
在2004年至2007年期间进行了可评估性评估、能力建设、自我管理调查和半结构化访谈,并通过转录本评估和SPSS进行分析,以确定随时间推移的趋势、关系和能力变化。
可评估性评估确定了CBO在项目规划和实施方面的优势,以及在可衡量目标制定、混合方法的系统使用、数据管理和分析方面的挑战。可评估性评估为评估能力建设(ECB)培训、电话会议和网络研讨会提供了信息,这些活动在评估知识、技能和能力方面带来了具有统计学意义的显著提升。倡议后的访谈表明,CBO更喜欢在逻辑模型开发、混合方法数据收集和分析方面进行面对面培训。
本报告说明了如何使用混合方法来规划、实施和评估一个模型,以促进CBO对预防倡议进行系统评估以及在评估能力建设方面的考量。
